[gqmnpyza] Recovering lost and found files

Suppose filesystem corruption occurs and Linux dumps a bunch of inode data into uselessly labeled files in the lost+found directory.

Knowing that this might happen, design an application-level scheme that writes data in a way that makes it more likely to be able to recover data from such dumps.  Presumably identifiable small packets with forward error correction.
